'Miracle' newborn baby rescued from South African storm drain

Three hours after first getting the call one of the rescuers shouted up that he had the baby girl and that she was still alive and she was pulled up and out to safety.

The group said emergency responders went to the scene on Monday (local time) after residents heard a baby crying from deep inside the concrete storm drain.

A baby is recovering in hospital after workers spent three hours rescuing it from a storm drain in Durban, South Africa. "It is mercy from above that she is alive‚" said Hardcastle.

She's been airlifted to hospital and is in a stable condition.

Timeline in case of serial killer Bruce McArthurCantlon described the extensive collection of photographs McArthur kept of his victims - many of them taken while they were alive. But the sentence McArthur ended up receiving Friday, the Associated Press says, was the most lenient option on the table.

Rescue Care Paramedics, one of the groups that helped to extricate the infant girl in Durban, said it was unclear why the baby was "dumped" and that police were launching an investigation.

Emergency services had to dig down to the pipe where the baby was trapped, before cutting the pipe and carefully extracting the baby, said Robert Mckenzie, KZN EMS spokesperson.

Hardcastle‚ the chief trauma specialist at the hospital‚ said the little girl was healthy and in good spirits‚ besides having mild hypothermia on arrival.
